I watch Gossip Girl (LOVE it - my guilty pleasure), and in one episode they had B2B playing for ages in one scene. It started really loud, and faded slightly when the characters began talking. It was cool, b/c I don't think B2B was released as a single over here.

Also, we watch Corrie (9 months behind, grrrr) and they are always playing B2B or Tears on the Rovers jukebox or the radio in the factory or Roy's caff.

I was shopping in my local mall about a month ago, when I heard Just Friends, which I thought was kind of a random song to be playing.

At my local independent record store, which is very 'hip' - whatever - they were playing Frank the other week. I was shocked - normally they only play really 'cool' stuff, which no-one has ever heard of. Has anyone ever seen the film 'High Fidelity' with John Cusack and Jack Black? Well, the staff are like Jack Black. So, that was random, and a nice surprise.

I heard Amy at Nordstrom's at the mall here once, don't remember which song it was.

And I remember I heard Amy at the mall in Hammersmith, London, when I went to her concert at the Hammersmith Apollo theater last November.

when i was on holiday in devon last week, me and my friend loz was in a pub where they play live music every night and this really good acoustic duo where playing, i was missing the forum obvs, not having any info on amy!
all of a sudden i hear them sayinng next where gonna do back to black, it was quite a small pub aswell so it had a really intimate atmosphere and i stood up and started going 'wooooo' you know the usual, and the man was like we have an amy fan i was like yessss i love amy, then he started making jokes about her!! and i told him to shut up and he said shes a reason not to take drugs, she looks like a horse, and i started boo'ing him and told him to get on with the music or get off the stage and he apologised :) and i enjoyed the song lots

I don't recall ever hearing her at a store, but I did used to work at this music store and I'd always put her CD's in the player. It was one of those 6-disc changers and we'd have 6 CDs in there on shuffle so whenever an Amy song came on I'd be like "finally!" and start dancing and/or singing along. Then a customer would come up to buy concert tickets or some crap and I would get really annoyed that I couldn't dance around and sing. lol

Oh yeah cupid, I went to another pub with my Mum, Dad and cousin for Sunday carvery and I was sitting outside smoking and my mum popped her head out of the door and was like "can you hear it" "Its Amy and Cupid" I was well chuffed with that.
I also love it when we hear Amy in shops, my 7 year old neice is like Oh I love this song!!!

Mainly on tv. Sometimes they only play the intro of a song or something so most people probably don't know it's Amy, but after the first second I'm like "Woohooo that's Amy!!!".

I heard Back To Black in a shop once, and I've just been standing there listening and pretending to be looking at things (to make sure my friends wouldn't leave already) until the song was over and then I left the shop.

Also when I was on the Eurostar from London to Brussels, when I was on my way home from one of Amy's gigs, I saw someone a bit further in the train handing a copy of BTB to someone else. I was going to put my thumb up but they didn't look.
And I go back to... I go back to us.

Friday night I was at this HUGE bicycle ride in LA where hundreds of riders get together and cruise the streets of LA. Well a guy had speakers on the back of his bike and he had some Amy songs in there!! I was so excited I rode up to him and told him he made my whole night haha.
